One major grid that was previously accessible by hypergrid — ScienceSim — is no longer on the hypergrid, and is now only accessible through direct logins. And ReactionGrid, which serves mostly business and education users, is running an older, more stable version of the OpenSim server software, which can create some problems when trying to teleport to grids running the latest updates.

Since we last updated our hypergrid list in August, there has been another major change. The Diva Distribution of OpenSim has made it quick and painless for anyone to set up a hypergrid-enabled mini-grid. Christa Lopes, the creator of the Diva Distro, estimates that there are currently around 400 grids running the Diva Distro.

There's a correction – ScienceSim is in fact off the hypergrid, but ReactionGrid is not. In fact, I successfully teleported from Palm City to ReactionGrid's HG Gateway 2 and back today. I'm updating the destination list.

However, many teleports in and out of ReactionGrid are failing due to server compatibility issues. This may be resolved over time.
